A Worshipping community Since 1859. St. Columban Parish is a Catholic community that follows the Word and Work of Jesus Christ through discipleship, stewardship, and fellowship. It is an understatement to say that our parish has grown significantly since the 1850s, when we were a mission church of St. Andrew in Milford. We have changed, as has the Church universal. Many though we are, we are one body in Christ. We reflect the plurality of our larger church community. Some of us have been here a long time; others have been here a short time. Like the Church throughout the world, we are many but one; like the image of St. Columban in our worship space, we are unfinished. “There is always more to be done – by a prophet, or a painter, or by a parish."

Worship Commission

The purpose of worship for Roman Catholics is “the glorification of God and the edification of God’s people” as they journey in faith. Sunday after Sunday members of our faith community gather around the tables of Word and Sacrament to “do this in memory of me.”  That is, to hold in memory the command of the Lord to gather, to proclaim the sacred scriptures, and to “eat this bread and drink the cup” until he comes again in glory.

The Worship Commission strives to build the faith of our community through an understanding of our church rituals and traditions, and through the art of finding the most helpful expression of those traditions for our parish and its people. The commission also values liturgy as the central ministry of our parish community from which we all take our identity and from which all other activities of the parish flow.
